Procedures
In general, dependent on fiber type, weight, and construction, the following general recommendations should pass a vertical 12 – 15 second burn test:
Polyester/Cotton
- 40% – 60% on weight of bath(owb) Orco Flame Retardant DR™
- 25% – 0.50% on weight of goods(owg) Orconol CHSA Conc™
Acetate, Nylon, & Polyester
- 20% – 50% owb Orco Flame Retardant DR™
- 25% – 0.50% owg Orconol CHSA Conc™
Cotton or Wool
- 20% – 40% owb Orco Flame Retardant DR™
- 25% – 0.50% owg Orconol CHSA Conc™
Fabrics should be free of all residual oils, waxes, and softeners as this will contribute to flammability.
